Wubba lubba dub-dub! Grab your pencils and get ready to draw—because Team Afro Tokyo is taking over the Artist Alley Stage for an interactive Rick and Morty draw-along you won't forget! Led by award-winning illustrator, animator, and mangaka Kudzai "TaNyaKu" Ngundu, co-founder of Afro Tokyo, this session is all about fun, creativity, and bringing your favourite interdimensional duo to life on paper.

Afro Tokyo is known for blending African and Japanese aesthetics to tell fresh, vibrant stories, and Kudzai brings that same creative energy to this high-energy workshop. No experience needed—just bring your imagination, a pencil, and a love for all things Rick and Morty.
